Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe?

On one hand, it’s probably not that unlikely that an attacker gets 3 samples if the email or username gets reused a lot, on the other hand I wonder how well automated password crackers deal with systems like this. ‘one good pattern with a couple of extra characters per site’ seems like a pretty common password system.
